i absolutely hate Bluefire with passion.

None of them. Best Donic rubber for me is Desto F3 Bigslam.

Why? And why are there always so many extreme emotions involved on these surveys? Is not your taste largely related to your style, personal experience and level? |

YES, Acuda S1 is the absolute winner in terms of durability and friction. M1 is also fine.

It would be a contest between Barra, S1t, and M2. All are great rubbers with great spin and speed. I would say there is a fair difference between the way they feel and play so you would need to try them all to pick your fav.
All are capable rubbers with M2 prolly the easiest to use and Barra with the most spin. |

I haven't played with S1Turbo, but I'm presuming it's as durable, or more so, than regular S1... and regular S1 is very durable in my experience. (I used it for about 6 months.) So, presumably, S1Turbo has good durability since it has an even tougher top sheet than regular S1.
I used Baracuda for about 4 months. Although I experienced a little chipping of the rubber around the edges, which is common for earlier ESN Tensors, the overall playing characteristics did not diminish a ton. So I would say it's a fairly durable rubber but perhaps slightly less durable than S1. If it wasn't so bouncy in the short game I would buy it again for my BH despite the chipping. I have been playing Bluefire M2 for the last week so I can't say much about its durability, though I have dinged the table a couple times and have not seen any effect on the rubber. Based on my experience with new generation Tensors (Hexer HD, Rasant, Omega IV Pro), I'm gonna assume its durability is quite good... but we'll see. I don't think many people can comment on the durability of M2 a ton simply because it has only been out for a few months so far (to my knowledge). But so far I am extremely pleased with it. |

the traction series are subject to the same quality control problem as all the other haifu rubbers
i opened one sheet of traction ms soft which had a thick topsheet and another which had a great thin topsheet just like a good sheet of shark II p.s. haifu makes the traction series... donic and/or retailers are just going for a huge profit margin there

Do you find shark 2/3 good? Traction didn't impress me at all.
Just as food for though... Personally I don't find that the new Bluefire rubbers offer more performance than previous Donic rubbers (perhaps a little less spin but for sure a bit more speed) however what stands out is how much easier they are to use. For me Bluefire is better because I can control it better than previous Donic rubbers, but I am certain that close to the table Barra is an awesome offensive animal with S1t and S1 being more suited to off the table play. What is best depends more on your skill than what actually "is" the best. |

I've said M2, because it's great. But I mean M3, because it's super-great.

This was a great signature until I realised it was overrated.

S1T has a louder/harder "tok" where as T05 has a really soft "Tok" when looping.

M1, is just too fast, the ball just goes into the net all the time.
